There is a lot of audio available online and it is really easy to just grab something, especially on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Just because you can obtain a copy of a song or a sound effect, it does not mean you necessarily have the artist's permission to use it in your schoolwork or on a personal project. Make sure the licensing associated with the audio you intend to use is labeled for reuse and that the artist who created it is properly cited.
